List Reported Items

[Paul M]

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This is something we have been using for the last few years on Cable Forum, it displays a list of reported posts and reported private messages - for both staff and members to see.

The list shows ;

Reported Date/Time
Reporter (Staff Only)
Thread Title
Post Number
Actioned Date/Time
Moderator Who Actioned.

Warning: For this system to work you must have vbulletin set-up to create a new thread for each report. Installing this will disable the e-mail reporting, so until you have a report forum set, reporting will be disabled.

On the reported posts page members can click on the Actioned Moderator name to see any comment left by the moderator.

A report is considered as actioned by the first staff member to reply in the report thread. The comments are read from that first post (by default it reads anything inside quote tags).

Staff can click on the reporter to be taken directly to the report thread.

Staff Usergroups are defined in the mods settings - also the number of days to show reports for is defined in the settings.

If enabled, this will also add a link to your Quick Links or Community Links. There is also an option to prefix the link path if you use something like CMPS.

This will only list reported posts and private message's.

[Coded Dude]

Thanks ill install this later :)

[blake247]

Thanks for the mod. Installed.

[murratti]

installed but Link is not work correct...mod make link like that http://www.domain.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=4442344#post4442344

but correct link must be like this http://www.domain.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?59082&p=4441779#post4441779

For this reason when u clikc the link, it goes only first post, not the reported post

[Paul M]

It goes to the correct post for me in both FF and IE.

What exactly is 5908 ?

[murratti]

i think its a thread id...vbulletin own report post system create that kind of link....and its work on my forum..

[AzzidReign]

Wow, this is great. I own a big board so we get tons of reported posts and this looks like it will make things much easier!

Thanks.

[Paul M]

I think what you mean is it doesnt create seo links, which is true, something I can alter for v4.0.2

[tafreeh]

Woahh guess what.. there is no option exist to report post in postbit :@

Reporting it to vb.com

[Paul M]

Are you set up correctly ? - in vb4 if you have report to e-mail turned off, and dont have create thread enabled, then reporting is disabled.

[tafreeh]

Thanks paul.. it makes sense... if both options are turned off, where reported post would go :)
enabling email moderator solves the issue.

[ToNetU]

is it possible to send a notify/pm to the moderators? so they can know that there is a reported post!

and how can i make the reported post list between the reporter and moderators? so it will list the reposters that he/she sent and our actioned.

thanks Paul.

[meschiash]

Mod installed on vB 4.0.1, and after reporting post does not appear in the list of reported posts. What could be wrong?

[Paul M]

To make this modification work, you MUST have reporting set to create a new thread in a specified reported posts forum, doing this removes the need to enable emailing. Are you sure you set this up correctly ?

is it possible to send a notify/pm to the moderators? so they can know that there is a reported post!
Nope, nor is it necessary, they can see them both in the specified forum, or by viewing this list.

and how can i make the reported post list between the reporter and moderators? so it will list the reposters that he/she sent and our actioned.

Sorry, I dont understand the question.

No idea - have you set it up correctly ?

[meschiash]

No idea - have you set it up correctly ?
Now is ok. I don't have understood the last section in set-up.

Thank's Paul.

well,I actually change that setting to post a thread in a forum.. widout even checking if it worked or not with email option... but the Report button showed up tho, when i select the email option... i will test the product tomorrow and let your know... Thanks for the help

[meschiash]

I don't have in item pool any link's to reported post's

[Paul M]

Sorry, I dont understand what you just said.

[meschiash]

In the ITEM has no link to the reported post.

[Paul M]

Please provide a screenshot showing what you mean.

[cnutter]

Paul can you give a basic run down on how to setup your product. IE How to set it up properly?

More to the point is were to find the setup for vbulletin to create a thread for each report.

Never mind I'm retarded and need sleep.

[Alfa1]

I use this modification: Auto-solve report threads (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=191408&highlight=solve+reported+posts) to solve reported posts. This means that solved reports are in a separate forum. Can I use the 'list reported items' modification with this?

[Paul M]

It will not pickup "solved" reports if they are in a different forum.

[meschiash]

Ok. I will try to explain it.

In my picture i have field ITEM. On your picture, you have field POST. At my in box ITEM i don't have link to the reported post. In your's you have a link to the reported post.

[Paul M]

Given that your forum is not English, you have most likely customised the phrases that create the threads (or loaded a language that customizes them). To get the post details, the mod has to extract the information from the first post, in your case it is unable to find what it is looking for.

[LCN2007]

Paul its not listing for me.

I have the forum set permissions set and still empty list.

Could you help me please?

I did try to reinstall and still no help. The product did disable email sending like you saids it would.

[Paul M]

There is nothing i can do for you unless you provide admin access to your forum.

[LCN2007]

PM Sent thank you sir

[Paul M]

Its working fine on your forum.

It will not list old/existing reported posts as they are not the correct format, it will only list reports created after the mod is installed.

[LCN2007]

ok thank you for checking it out sir i appreciate that.

[aaronrand]

Great mod, thank you.
I showed it to my friend who is using VB 3.8, and was asking me if you had a version for 3.8 of this mod?

[Paul M]

Yes, there is a 3.8 version.

[Big-K]

Hi Paul,

In the details pop out box, I will like to show the reason why a post is reported. I have managed to create the row but need the correct syntax for cdata. can you help?

Here's what I have at the moment $cname = 'Reason for reporting';
$cdata = $reportinfo[reason];
$template_post->register('cname',$cname);
$template_post->register('cdata',$cdata);
$reportedpost .= $template_post->render();

I have attached a screenshot of where I'm headed

Also, Is there a way to highlight reported posts in the forum? I know this is beyond the scope of your fantastic product, but just wondering.

[Paul M]

Im afraid its not that simple - you would need to write a function to extract the reason text from the entire post text - somewhat similar to how the rplgetreply() function works - then store that in the array as its built - and finally output it like the other elements.

There is no way to highlight reported posts, but it would not be too hard as every post stores its report threadid, so you just need to see if the post has one.

Thanks Paul. Are these options you may consider for a future release?

[Paul M]

Sorry, Im afraid not.

[RobbieZ]

Would be great if the it appeared in notification to bring the attention of staff that a post has been reported.

[ProFifaLeagues]

Paul how do we set up this correctly so the mod will work A1?


Warning: For this system to work you must have vbulletin set-up to create a new thread for each report. Installing this will disable the e-mail reporting, so until you have a report forum set, reporting will be disabled.

[Paul M]

Exactly as it says - set vb up to create a new thread for each report - in a dedicated forum (in your staff area) is best.

[BlackHoster]

thank you :) i will try to test it and come back to give you the results :D

[ProFifaLeagues]

Thanks Paul

[BlackHoster]

Now you deserve it :D .lol really thank you Paul ..installed and Good mod Regards

[ProFifaLeagues]

Just to say installed and working A1 Thanks Paul great stuff yet again.

[BadgerDog]

I have this set for usergroups 5,6,7 to be able to view this mod under "Community Links" ...

However, standard registered users under usergroup 2 can see it as well? :confused:

Am I misunderstanding something about what the "Comma seperated list of user groups allowed to see 'who reported' link to the report thread." option means?

Thanks .. :)

Regards,
Badger

[Paul M]

Yes you are misunderstanding. :)

That permission controls whether you can see who reported each post in the list.

The link to dsiplay the list is available to everyone.

Understood .. :up:

[Alan_SP]

Just one thing to clarify:

Installing this will disable the e-mail reporting, so until you have a report forum set, reporting will be disabled.

This mod disables email reporting, but you can turn it back on and email reporting works after that.

[BadgerDog]

We upgraded to 4.1.3 and have found that this mod has stopped working .. :confused:

I just noticed that a post was reported by an Admin and it doesn't show up in the list?

In fact, no posts reported in the past 14 days are shown.

Has something changed we are missing?

Thanks ... :)

Regards,
Doug

[Paul M]

Nothing Im aware of has changed. I cannot properly test it from my current location (holiday, back home next week) but I would have expected other reports of an issue.

[BadgerDog]

Thanks ... don't worry about it Paul .... :)

I agree.. I would have thought someone else with 4.1.3 would have reported a problem if there was one.

Have a great holiday ... :up:

I'll do some more checking and see if I've screwed up anything, but it's a pretty straight foward install, however, give me a coffee break and you have to re-train me. :D

Regards,
Doug

[River J]

Is there anyway to use this on MySQL Version : 4.1.22-standard ?
I changed 1 number in the xml file but couldn't get it working when i went to the page, it gave me a DB error.

[Paul M]

No.

You obviously edited or removed the XML dependency, otherwise you could not have installed this.
As you have now found out, its not there just for the fun of it. This wont run on mysql4.

[JayCat]

Doesn't work in vb 4.1.4 PL2.

The report page is completely blank (no errors though).

[Paul M]

It works fine on 4.1.4.

[Drache]

Hi Paul. This is awesome mod. This is what I've been waiting for. But is it possible to make the list only viewable by moderators and admin? I don't want normal members or none registered users to see this list at all.

[River J]

Anyway to change the color of the text for the link in the community drop down tab? We're running mysql 5 now and it's got white text

[Paul M]

No, that isnt an option.

There is no relationship between the version of mysql and text colour, so not sure what thats about. There is no option to change the text colour, you would need to edit the template or css.

[River J]

No, that isnt an option.

Sorry to confuse you about that but I asked you a question when I was on mysql 4 and we just upgraded so it works.

[lapiervb]

Would be a great mod however when I click it I just get a white screen......

[alencete]

Would be a great mod however when I click it I just get a white screen......

Similar :(

[Paul M]

When you click what exactly ?

[POL_ED]

Mod installed on vB 4.1.6
It works fine.

Thank's Paul M.

[Altari]

Hi,
Sorry for my bad english but i'm french :)
I tried this mod, which is great, but for some reasons i uninstalled it.

But this change the langage of the post which is automatically posted when something is reported. Now, it's always in english, before it was in french
How can i do ?
Thank you

[Paul M]

Updated: This is now available for the 4.1.x series of vBulletin only.

[Dwarden]

i would really like if there was option to show the link on nav menu only to member of specific groups

same goes about access to the page (to prevent regular users being able access it)

[Eagle Eyes]

Same, is this possible?

A little condition would do it? But i dont know how.

[Eagle Eyes]

Is it possible if the post is deleted and/or infracted it will show this in action.

Action: No Action Taken
Action: Deleted
Action: Deleted & Infracted
Action: Deleted & Warned
Action: Infracted
Action: Warned

I can pay if somebody can make this happen.

[Hamma]

Has anyone made an equivalent of this for vB 3.8?

[Thunderbird8]

Paul did say earlier in the thread that he'd done a 3.8 version, check his profile and you'll find it.

[Hamma]

Ah, reading comprehension fail. Thanks ;)

[Brandon Sheley]

Very nice mod to help manage reported post ;)

[SuperTaz]

Nice mod. Installed.

Question: Would it be possible to add a feature to also post a detailed thread about the reported items in a staff specified forum?

[MentaL]

so how exactly is the moderator suppose to know which report is his to solve? i've got hundreds of sections and a lot of moderators.

[MentaL]

when multiple users report the same thread/post it automatically merges with the current one and is automatically set to "solved".

[Alan_SP]

Actually, this mod is made in that way that whenever there is one (or more) posts in created thread, thread is marked as solved.

So, if anyone report it, or post in it, for this mod this issue is solved.

This is how this mod operates.

[Paul M]

Actually, this mod is made in that way that whenever there is one (or more) posts in created thread, thread is marked as solved.
Only if the replies are from staff.

[Alan_SP]

Sorry, my bad, when I tested it, all answers were from me. :)

[Nirjonadda]

Is it possible if the post is deleted and/or infracted it will show this in action.

Action: No Action Taken
Action: Deleted
Action: Deleted & Infracted
Action: Deleted & Warned
Action: Infracted
Action: Warned

I can pay if somebody can make this happen.

@Paul M , can you update this mod with this option?

[Paul M]

Sorry, Im not planning any updates to this (or any of my mods) atm, I do not have the time.

[Dwarden]

to these who want prevent this page content to be visible to non-staff members , just do e.g.


<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6,5,7)">
<h2 class="blockhead">{vb:phrase rpl_reported_posts} - {vb:rawphrase rpl_for_last_x_days, {vb:var vboptions.rpldays}}</h2>
<table id="reportlist_table" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="blocksubhead">{vb:phrase rpl_reported}</td>
<vb:if condition="$show['rpladmin']">
<td class="blocksubhead">{vb:phrase rpl_reporter}</td>
</vb:if>
<td class="blocksubhead">{vb:phrase rpl_thread_title}</td>
<td class="blocksubhead">{vb:phrase rpl_item}</td>
<td class="blocksubhead">{vb:phrase rpl_actioned}</td>
<td class="blocksubhead">{vb:phrase moderator}</td>
</tr>
<vb:each from="rpl.list" value="rplrow">
<tr class="alt1 normal">
<vb:each from="rplrow" value="row">
<vb:if condition="$row['type'] == 'noaction'">
<td class="alt2">{vb:phrase rpl_not_actioned}</td><td class="alt2">-</td>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$row['type'] == 'nolink'">
<td<vb:if condition="$row['align']"> align="{vb:raw row.align}"</vb:if>>{vb:raw row.cdata}</td>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$row['type'] == 'link'">
<td<vb:if condition="$row['align']"> align="{vb:raw row.align}"</vb:if>><a title="{vb:phrase rpl_click_to_view}" href="{vb:raw row.clink}">{vb:raw row.cdata}</a></td>
</vb:if>
</vb:each>
</tr>
</vb:each>
</vb:if>


it's simple IF check which prevents the list to appear to anyone outside groups 5,6,7 while page still exists

[Paul.]

I can't really understand what this does exactly.

Do I create a forum for it to be able to create threads where users post their concerns and only they and staff can see the thread?

Anyone else looking can see threads they created or else it's just an empty forum, from what they can see?

[Wseries]

I'm starting to see a trend on my forum where the reporting of items is being abused. Is it possible for this mod to show me who actually reported an item or am I missing something?

[Paul M]

If you are a member of a usergroup defined as staff then this will always show you the reporter (see the screenshot).

[tbworld]

Have not come across this MOD before, nice little gem. Thanks @Paul_M :)

[Wseries]

If you are a member of a usergroup defined as staff then this will always show you the reporter (see the screenshot).

[EDIT] Solved my first problem. I wasn't looking at the right settings pane. My reported items now list who reported them.

However I'm not sure why, when an item has been actioned, the message "No Reply Yet" is always displayed in the comment area. Any idea Paul?

[Paul M]

As the main post says ;

A report is considered as actioned by the first staff member to reply in the report thread. The comments are read from that first post (by default it reads anything inside quote tags).

[fxdigi-cash]

does this mod work? I tried it on the vb4.2.3 latest version and when I display reported items I see nothing. I sent many reports, but still that page is empty!!

any idea what's going??

Edit: never mind. I had a mistake in my settings. :) got it fixed!!
